Windows Explorer Freeze-Up

I have Win 2000 on my work computer and Windows Explorer will freeze up every once in a while when tring to open a file. I will have to restart the computer because of this freeze-up. The items on the task bar will disappear, and the only way to restart the computer is by manually turning it off. Then the following error message will come up:

System Standby Failed "The device driver for the 'Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard' device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver."

Anyone know how to fix this or point me in the right direction?? Thanks.

Try the standard stuff first...
Update your BIOS, REinstall Service Pack 1, update to the latest MSIE (well... version 5.5 at least)....

I have seen problems like this before. And they were always on upgrades for a diffrent OS. If this is an upgrade, FORMAT and reinstall.
